The warm, inviting atmosphere of Wabi Nori makes it perfect for a casual night out. The lighting is soft, and the wooden interiors create a relaxing vibe. Pair that with a Matcha Gimlet, and it’s a match made in heaven.

The 5 Handroll Set was a well-rounded experience. The combination of Spicy Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, Bay Scallop, and Crab showcased the freshness of the ingredients perfectly. The rice was seasoned impeccably, and the handrolls were assembled with precision. A must-try for sushi enthusiasts.

The staff is like sushi itself—efficient, clean, and bursting with character! They made sure every detail of my dining experience was flawless. A special thank you to the server who recommended the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu handroll. It was divine!

I was supposed to eat only three rolls, but the lobster handroll whispered, "You can't leave without me." So, I ordered six! Not my fault—it’s the lobster’s charm.

Wabi Nori offers an exceptional dining experience. The Eel Hand Roll, in particular, stood out with its perfectly balanced flavors and delicate presentation. Highly recommended for sushi lovers.

Tried the Spicy Salmon Roll today. Let’s just say it was so good, I thought about ordering another one, but then I remembered I’m broke. 10/10 would sell my kidney for another roll

The Wabi Nori Tuna Hand Roll was pure perfection! The seaweed was crisp, the rice perfectly seasoned, and the tuna melted in my mouth. The minimalist decor of the restaurant adds to the zen vibe. Staff was attentive and kind. Definitely a place I’ll visit again.

This morning, I went to Wabi Nori without having breakfast. “Can you eat a hand roll for breakfast?” I wondered. The answer: Yes! The Sweet Potato Tempura Hand Roll was both light and satisfying, perfectly matching the slow pace of the morning. It’s now part of my daily routine

Wabi Nori is not just a restaurant; it’s an art gallery. The Salmon Avocado Hand Roll in my hand looked like a masterpiece. The freshness of the salmon and the creamy texture of the avocado danced on my palate. The dishes weren’t just about taste; they were an experience. If food could talk, this roll would’ve said, “Welcome home
